Anna leads Finland's successful initiative against food waste, a story rooted in the nation's unique characteristics. Finland's cold, vast landscape and small population (5.5 million) have cultivated a practical, collaborative society, essential for tackling complex challenges.

Her team unites diverse stakeholders—including the food industry, retailers, and various ministries—to work collectively. Their model encourages voluntary actions focused on profitability and sustainability, while also spreading awareness. The key learning is that effective solutions must reflect food waste's multi-faceted nature.

This innovative approach was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Strong positive social connections are key to happiness, both for individuals and cities. Charles Montgomery explored this concept at Sam Sullivan's February 2014 Public Salon in Vancouver, BC.

Montgomery investigates how urban design intersects with the new science of happiness, drawing insights from psychology, neuroscience, and behavioral economics. From Disneyland to Dubai, his work reveals how city design influences our thoughts, feelings, and actions. He demonstrates that by changing our relationship with the cities we inhabit, we can transform our own lives.

On March 13, WECAN and the Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance petitioned the Army Corps of Engineers in Washington D.C. They demanded a robust environmental review of the proposed Line 5 crude oil pipeline reroute.

Enbridge's Line 5 operates illegally, threatening sacred ecosystems, clean water, treaty territories, and the global climate. Despite opposition, Enbridge plans a reroute and expansion. Activists insist Line 5 must be shut down and decommissioned, not merely rerouted.

The Indigenous Women's Treaty Alliance, supported by WECAN, Sierra Club, and community allies, delivered the petition. WECAN has facilitated the Alliance, comprising Great Lakes Indigenous women leaders, since 2022.
